On some beamlines (e.g. I19) they have found it useful to have the option of "locking" devices behind a password so that users can't go and mess around in them. Could it be useful to add a "locked" option to the create_gui.yaml?
e.g.
beamline:
dom: p47
desc: Test Beamline
password: 1234 <----------
components:
fshtr:
desc: Fast Shutter
prefix: BL47P-EA-FSHTR-01
locked: true <----------
